Damn Good Cry
Written by Johnsmith & Tom Prasada-Rao

Every tear tells a story
Every tear has its rhyme
Every tear has a moment
When it feels it’s time

Every tear has a season
An autumn, a spring
A time when it rises
And a time when it sings

Chorus
Cuz every tear has its own life
Each one falls in its own good time
Up from the dark, born of the heart to the child inside
Every tear deserves a damn good cry

Sometimes I say I’m sorry
Sometimes I just feel sad
Sometimes I’m still angry
And I can’t let go of that

Sometimes I ask forgiveness
Sometimes I dance with joy
Cuz sometimes mercy finds me
With her still small voice

Chorus: repeat

Cry me an ocean wide
a weeping willow by the riverside
I don’t wanna die
with any tears left inside

Every tear has a story
Every heart holds a well
Every life has known some sorrow
That only teardrops can tell

Chorus: repeat
